The waiting times for some countries suck but there's a reason for that.

If the US didn't have a considerable amount of immigrants from those countries then the times would be 8x less.

Same happens with Mexico. There are so many Mexican immigrants in the US already (legal and illegal) that getting a GC it's almost impossible now unless you have a legitimate marriage to a citizen.

I remember the leaks mentioned something about reinforcing the "Trump = Hitler" idea.

This was all manufactured by the DNC and it didn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if they're currently planning ways to disrupt Trumps inauguration or other events during the next 4 years to see if he snaps and they can use that as ammo for the next election.

At the end of the day it's politics and playing dirty is expected but now that one side has been exposed it's hard to brush it off thinking everybody does it.

If you ever watched a rally he'd talk about Hillary 10% of the time. The rest was about America and his plans.

OTOH Hillary rallies were 90% Trump bashing distributed among different groups. - now all women!! - now all hispanics! - now [insert group name here]

You can't compare how both candidates ran their campaigns and it's hard to argue that HRC main campaign points were: 1. I'm a woman. 2. I'm not Trump.

Same experience as OP here both on number of applicants and number of qualified female applicants.

Take home test results were considerably worse for females too and they had over five days to complete a simple thirty minute exercise.

There might be responsibilities that get in the way but IMO if you can't find a slice of time to work on something that came up then I'll be really careful in considering you for a job.

Shit happens w/o planning and I'd rather have people I can count on.

Everyone knew it wasn't a bomb? Really? AFAIK he was asked what it was and he was uncooperative although we won't ever know since his family refused the public release of the police records.

Anyways, if we're going with hearsay then we should mention the boy's sister was suspended for making a bomb threat so I'd doubt the average teacher would just brush this off as "definitely not a bomb".

Now, seems like in your mind it would've been better for the school to send a SWAT team after him. I'm sure that wouldn't be seen as a negative thing by anyone.

Same here. I've been a MySQL DBA for over 10 years and I've never had data loss or corruption even with power supplies dying and servers shutting down completely.

I've also used PG in quite a few projects and I can't say I find it better or faster at least for my usage. If anything it's more difficult to manage, there are way less decent tools to monitor, profiling is a PIA and those backslash commands just drive me nuts. I hate stuff like "\dt".

I don't see where it says it's already a feature. The note itself (not that post) says it might be available in the future but it's not there right now:

Messages and files shared in 1-1 chats are only browsable and searchable in HipChat by the two people involved.

"While admins do not have access to browse or search 1-1 chats through functionality within HipChat, this is an option we may provide in the future for organizations to opt-in to. If made available, it will not be retroactive, and we will be sure to address how affected users can be notified that their chats are subject to viewing by their admins" http://help.hipchat.com/knowledgebase/articles/358098

It does say the organization can email them and ask for that so while technically possible it's not so easy for the admin to snoop.

To me this is a really good way to evaluate a candidate.

At the end of the day I care about whether or not you can solve a problem.

I really don't care if you solved it because you can use google or because you have a network of people to ask questions.

Technology changes too fast to expect people to always know it all. I'd rather have people that are resourceful and can dig their way out of a hole.

I do see a decent number of people posting they've had issues with cancellations that match what the pastebin describes.

Why aren't you replying to any of them if you're acting as the voice of reason here?

Everybody is missing the point in this discussion.

While devices might be affordable, the real problem is service.

In most countries you can get a cheap android indeed but having a data plan is really expensive or it's just not possible because of how plans are structured.

The iPhone was in part revolutionary because it came along with a $30 data plan as an obligatory add on. Before that you had to be in the most expensive cellphone plans to have access to data.

In the developing world you either don't have a data plan or you have a REALLY restricted plan and I mean like you get 300MB a month and if you go over you get hit with a huge bill.
